Dedicated to designing a better democracy.
At CES, our multi-pronged strategy aims to spread awareness and use of approval voting. Our approach relies on three main areas: research, action, and education.

THE CES VISION
Research to Action
Transforming our election science research into legislative action is essential for strengthening democracy and expanding approval voting's reach. By converting data into sound policy, we can ensure fairer, and more representative elections. A world where democracies thrive because voter's voices are heard.
